Picnic ThrOngs-Persona1 Notes.
This evening is the closing enc of the st.
Lawrence church fair, and an unusually large
attendance is expected. The committee in
charge thinks that the financial result of the
enterprise will certainly equal that of last
year, Last Saturday over 300 people came
to the shore from Southington. They were
the members of the Celtic society and of the
St. Patrick's T. A. B. society and their
friends. A larger number would have come
but there was circus in town that day and
SO many stayed behind, being unable to give
up seeing the circus, its charms being ire
sistible. There was also throng of about
300 more at the shore who came from Anso-
MIA. This was the picnic of the Osborne &
Cheeseman manufacturing employees. The
concern makes suspenders, carriers, lamp
wicks, etc. They had an orchestra and the
dancers made the platform of Howes' pavil-
ion shake and merriment abounded. Mr..
Howes found great demand for his unrival-
ed shore dinners. There were throngs at the
rink in the evening.
One of the most notable improvements at
the shore this season is the new pier erected
by Mr.. Max Adler, of Mayer, Strouse & Co.,
in front of his elegantly fitted and furnished
shore residence. Mr. Adler, wife, three chill
dren and servant returned Saturday from a
two weeks stay at Saratoga. The new pier
is $50 feet long and reaches out to a water
way where there is always water even at low
tide. At the end is a pretty pavilion. The
pier is built in the most substantial manner
and will doubtless defy the onslaughts of the
heaviest breakers and ice floats. The spiles
and boards are fastened with galvanized iron
bolts and spikes. The pier has a stairway
descending to the flats for the bathers and
has a tier of bathing houses, which are each
furnished with city water and shower baths
Mr.. Strouse of Mayer, Strouse & Co., who
is summering with his family at the B. Shon-
niger cottage, pronounces West Haven shore
as an unsurpassed spot at which to enjoy
summers rest and speaks from an exper-
fence at Long Branch and various other
noted shore resorts.
Mr.. and Mrs S. L. Marsden, of York
street this city, have been spending very
pleasant week or two past at the Sea View
House. The Sea View is giving excellent
satisfaction to its guests, both as regards
management and the character of the guests
and the cuisine department.
The swimming match by young ladies of
Oriental Park is postponed. >.
A large party of Oriental Park folks was
present at their watermelon gathering Satur-
day evening. Dancing was enjoyed until
late hour, and with the aid of twenty large
melons real good time was enjoyed. About
sixty people were present.
Friday last the Meriden Baptist church's
Sunday school visited the west shore. In
spite of the inelemency of the weather all
were well pleased, and also the restaura-
tours who did a thriving business
The evening tides of late have been I'M
usually high and the big waves seem to be
very enticing for lovers of bathing, as the
bathing pavilions are well patronized. From
the pier and Howes' pavilion most delight
full view is obtained of the heavy sea- and the
sight is certainly worth seeing. An evening
at the shore is quite refreshing to visitors
from the heated and dusty city. Clusters
band supplies dance music at Howes' rink,
Mrs. j. D. Buckingham, Of Boston, is to
spend a short time at the Pettis cottage in
Oriental Park. Mrs. buckingham is a well
known vocalist.
Friday Justice Savage heard the cases

each of them about $75.
